@showthemurphy I suggest you go to the website of Track of the Wolf

You will find all of your answers there. Good people, very knowledgable.

do you have to replace the frinzin ( don't know how to spell it). I know flint has to be replaced but I don't know how to tell when..

[musketman2008]

@fishblade2 They take quite some time to wear out. Not to worry. If they do have it resoled or buy a new one.

There should be gang wars with these guns.

[SavageHmr]

Why don't you tap the ram rod down a few times to seat the round ball a little more.

@Ghstwn Thumbs up to that - very useful to cut through the crap.

@RunnerRoad69 i can't understand a word you're saying

[zephead1000]

this is great man, and you demonstrate well!

[coollord300]

there should be a way to make the pistols that we have today sound like flintlock pistols

[akdude182]

@MrMKH2010 i believe in the video he mentions that he use uses a over powder wad and over shot card in this case.

[MrMKH2010]

@akdude182 There are no fiber wads. After the pwoder is loaded, the ball is wrapped in a lubricated patch of between .010 - .015 of an inch. The patched ball is rammed down the barrel and seated hard on the powder. Fiber wads are only used in percussion pistols or blackpowder shotguns.

You dont look entirely right when you fire it. British officers would hold the pistol in one hand (usually right) and cock it with the palm of the other hand (not with their thums as you did). Then, holding the weapon in one hand only, extend that arm, keeping their back straight for maximum accuracy, and fire. Apart from the last minute, very informative video ;).

Nice looking weapon Sir.
